Feel your Feelings

​Everything we want is because of the feeling we’ve associated with having a certain person or thing in our lives.

But we are so judgmental of the (not so great) feelings that we can become afraid of our feelings and do whatever it takes to avoid them.

I’m all for focusing on good feelings and catching yourself if you’re complaining, but there seems to be this tendency in the metaphysical, positive thought world to avoid anything that doesn’t feel “good.”

The problem with that is, just because you deny or ignore them, feelings do not just go away, especially if they are intense.

People try to squish them down, lie to themselves and avoid how they feel at all costs, but the energy is still active, and that is what is creating your life.

So when you have something that keeps showing up in your life, but you swear you’ve gotten over something and let it go, guess what, you’ve haven’t…

That’s why it keeps showing up.

It is entirely natural for us to feel all sorts of emotions: otherwise, we’d be robots!

Feelings are meant to be felt, not thought, and they are not logical.

I see many people analyzing their emotions and doing their best to be stoic, never shedding a tear because they think that’s not acceptable and that if they show any emotion not considered good, they will create something bad in their lives.

But, if you stop judging them as good or bad and allow yourself to really feel them, they will pass through, rather than get locked up to cause problems later on.

I encourage you to start paying attention to how often you’re avoiding feelings and instead just allow yourself to let them be felt and dissipate.

It may feel odd at first, but if you stick with it, you will notice a lighter more relaxed feeling in your body.

Enjoy feeling your feelings! They help you remember you’re alive and when you’re focused on what you want or don’t want… have a fantastic week :-)
